Self-Portrait Tuesday



The SPT challenge for today was to take a picture of yourself looking your best.

Yesterday, I did my hair just right and was happy with how I looked. However - I could NOT get a decent self-portrait for anything. I deleted EVERY SINGLE picture I took yesterday. I kept looking at the photos and saying "I don't really look like that, do I?!"

So, today, I had Shad take my picture. I wasn't too thrilled with his photos either. I can't seem to smile naturally and when I do smile, my tiny eyes look like they're closed. And why didn't he tell me I wasn't holding my head straight?!

I guess it all boils down to the fact that 
I am NOT photogenic. 
But here's a photo that I can live with being out in the blogging world.



And here's a fun picture of me laughing at Lelly's April Fool's Joke! 
(Although I wasn't laughing Friday when her pending "hiatus" from SPT was the final straw that threw me into a Friday Funk!)

You are far too hard on yourself. You are beautiful. And you're right...your hair looks super cute.

You look cute smiling... I am not photogenic either.. That's why I was hoping that I'd look better after I get my hair done this afternoon...

I love the one of you laughing-
I felt the same way with my photos, I kept taking them over and over and over again...So silly!
I too was so bummed last friday!

You look darling in both of your photos!

But I hear your complaint with this SPT...you'll see in my SPT that I didn't even try to dress up 'cause I just didn't have the time or right temperament today :)

great picture!

The one of you laughing is great!

I have a very hard time taking pics of myself...I am deathly pale skinned and very hard on myself...but that's why I joined in on SPT. Because I want to be more comfortable being in pictures. It will come!

Good job contributing even if you weren't 'thrilled' with your picture.

I had a good laugh too when I read that Lelly had pulled a good one over on us...and boy was I relieved to find out it was all just a joke.

I'm on the road traveling right now and didn't do the SPT this week (maybe I was just rebelling due to her news)...but I ALWAYS complain about my pictures. You look darling...and I love your haircut! Too cute!

You're beautiful when you smile; you should more often.

I love both of your pictures! You ARE too hard on yourself. Your pictures look great and knowing you as a person, you are great! I too am glad that the end of SPT was just a joke, I've just barely started thanks to you!

Fun pictures. It's funny how we think we don't look the way we look or talk the way we actually do talk. Whenever I hear a recording of myself I am sure that the dumb thing is broken. That can't really be me!
It's great that you have a husband that plays along and that your laughing again after the Friday funk!

I think you're gorgeous! Very pretty delicate features. Ah, what I wouldn't give for a delicate nose. I like the picture of you laughing, too!

I love your smile. I laughed too when I read Lelly's post. It was fun to get a laugh out of the day. I like the picture of you laughing.
